Man Riding Two Horses
This small object shows a man riding on the backs of two horses--in profile, on either side, he appears to ride one horse. But from the front, back, or above, the two heads and two tails of the horses are differentiated. The man's long hair, beard, and the hair and trappings of the horses are purple or brown, while the rest of the piece is light green.
